To the Chaplains Corps of the United States Armed Forces, all branches; brave men and women tasked with preserving both God and hope in some of the world’s most godless, hopeless places.
To my friends Larry Correia, Chuck Gannon, Mike Resnick, and Kevin J. Anderson; without whom this book would not have become a Baen book.
To editors Stanley Schmidt and Trevor Quachri; who first brought these stories to life in the pages of Analog magazine.
To mentor Allan Cole and also to (the late) Chris Bunch; because I was there when, “Death came quietly to The Row.”
